They can’t celebrate their own diversity, do they have to hide who they are. After what happened to Eli I will fight to the end for trans rights, people who just want to live their lives in peace. Men don’t have to dress as women to rape and murdered us, they do it anyway in broad daylight (2)

I’m off to the Blue Light breakfast at work before Newcastle Pride march. Celebrating LGBTQ people who work for the emergency services. The police have had to withdraw, due to a court ruling brought by one of JKR’s cronies. (1)

Amazing day out, got the train to Alnmouth and cycled back, had the best laughs even though the wind was brutal at times.

Meeting ND people and reading this book I have found my kind, those who get it. My new ND 'spicey girls' friends are amazing, supportive, we get each other, we don't have to mask, anything goes, l'm at home. If you're ND or know someone who's ND you should read this book to understand what it's like

I struggled to make and keep friends. Why I got so churned up in social situations, why I didn’t understand situations, why I was impulsive, sometimes in dodgy situations, why I jumped from job to job, why I get stressed being late and can’t do change. I thought everyone had these feelings.But since

As I finish my ‘weird’ book by @robinince.bsky.social on the metro, (I have been reading a book club book in between) I think how much of the book has resonated with me. Diagnosed #ADHD a year & #autism a month, I feel much more at home in myself. I know now why I didn’t fit in since childhood, why

have empathy or be educated. I was diagnosed with autism a month ago, a year after my ADHD diagnosis. I’m now so much more comfortable around other neurodivergent people, I can be myself, I’m not the weird odd one out. Attitudes need to change, the suicide rates are too high, we are not stereotypes.

Another interesting evening with @pintofscience.uk with Louis and Tiggy. Some of it quite sad though. The stereotypes and stigma around autism coming from academia and filtering through into the media. The latest from America saying autism can be cured and these people will never find employment,

@pintofscience.uk was really interesting talking about paediatric brain tumours, especially as that’s what I’m testing today. Brings pieces of the puzzle together. #genetics

Got myself a 360 degree camera for cycling due to a few dodgy drivers around. But today I messed around with it, edits are crap, I’m still working out the fancy effects. The main thing is it will catch drivers all around me, not just in front.

come along with POTS, gastrointestinal issues (Eli is coeliac) and neurodivergence. Eli uses a walking stick and knee supports, but I’m so proud how they deal with it all. If you see a young person with walking aids, please give up your seat for them, it doesn’t always happen, but (2)

May is Ehlers Danlos awareness month. Eli was diagnosed with hypermobile EDS a few months ago after years of pain, fatigue and being dismissed by Drs. It’s not just about being bendy, it can affect the heart, the eyes, dislocated joints, pain, fatigue, excess bleeding and bruising, and tends to (1)

I could have written this, typing monkeys in my head, wish they would stop. Random jumping conversations, the joy of being with other neurodivergent people which I have only recently discovered. I don’t have to conform, I can be random chaotic me @robinince.bsky.social

My brain never stops with adhd, it’s tiring. Completely hyper focussed on the craft stalls I’m doing as @mimishouseofpretty.bsky.social . What should I make, will people like them, will they sell, what do people like, can’t find a mushroom pattern I like, what colours should I use…? It’s exhausting

2 weeks off the bike after a suspected TIA, was good to be back out. Not allowed on the roads until a month has passed, so some juddery surfaces.

I was buzzing after today, so much I related to & also lightbulb moments. I’ve realised my best life is surrounding myself with ND people who are much more accepting now that I know why I’m ‘weird’, struggling my whole life with not fitting in. Enjoying the highs of ND, esp the ADHD side

Fab afternoon listening to @robinince.bsky.social talk about his new book. So much of it rang true as a late diagnosed AuDHDer. Extra points to him for recognising my T-shirt and the relevant message in my book. Took the metro the long way round so I could read as much of it as possible.

How excited am I for this, considering I first preordered it last year, not realising it wasn’t released until 2025. And not being in when the postman tried to deliver this week. Just in time for seeing @robinince.bsky.social tomorrow in Whitley Bay

Non binary awareness week, I know a few non binary people including my fabulous Eli. Non binary and gender non conforming people have always been around throughout history, but we hear about them more now due to internet and social media.

2 ADHDers watching Dr Who before meds kick in ‘what’s happening’ ‘pause it a minute’ ‘who’s that’ ‘look at this on my phone’ ‘pause it a minute’ ‘let’s get breakfast’ ‘ what an awful spoon to use in a program that’s watched by NDs’ ‘I wouldn’t use that spoon’

Been awake since 5.30, not sure if it’s the light, the cats, the hay-fever or the ADHD meds being efficient.

£58 for a month of generic ADHD meds, as they can’t get hold of Concerta, that would be over £100 a month. GP won’t do shared care.
